Biffle takes second round
Driver still third in points despite two Chase wins.
Associated Press
DOVER, Del. — Greg Biffle has put all those winless races and two empty seasons without a spot in the Chase behind him — just as he’s done to the entire Cup field these last couple of weeks.
Biffle was flawless down the final thrilling laps Sunday and remained unblemished in the Chase for the championship. Two Chase races, two sparkling wins and not a single doubt that he can win the Sprint Cup title.
Biffle used another late pass — this time with nine laps to go — to hold off Roush Fenway Racing teammates Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards and win at Dover International Speedway.
“I feel like this has been coming for a while,” Biffle said. “There’s a lot of concentration right now. It doesn’t get more important than this.”
Biffle still can’t maneuver into first place in the Chase points standings. Biffle and two-time defending Cup champion Jimmie Johnson are both 10 points behind Edwards for the overall lead,
but Johnson holds the
tiebreaker.
“The points are frustrating because you would think winning a couple of races you could gain on it,” Biffle said.
